We’ve heard a lot about the 200 new features that arrived with iOS 5. However, what you might not have known is that the latest iOS also comes with some graphic tweaks versus those in iOS 4. These modifications, which are mostly spacing and shading changes, were first unveiled by Users Illusions and are presented here as well.

Take a look at some of the changes:

It’s Halloween. While some of us will be gorging ourselves with candy and treats, some others will be saving the day. Are they heroes in borderline-offensive tights and a cape? No. This particular humble servant of the people is armed only with a cannon against an onslaught of zombies. Zombies that are cute as a button, I might add. Standing alone in the aptly named app, A Pumpkin VS Zombies, a pumpkin stands between zombies and humanity.

Elements from Second Gear is one of the best text editors you can buy for your iPhone or iPad. What makes it so good, you ask? I personally love it for the clean and minimalistic interface, fast syncing, ability to choose any location in Dropbox to sync with, and the ever-useful Scratchpad feature.

Martian Miner ($ 0.99) by Digital Leprechaun LLC has you exploding asteroids in search of Unexplainium.

This game is a new take on the classic arcade game, Asteroids. Instead of just destroying asteroids to clear them out of your way, the larger ones will provide a flashing star (Unexplainium). Collect the required stars in order to warp to the next level.

The two controls you’ll learn in the introduction are moving the ship (swiping it in the direction you want), and firing (tapping what you want to smite). Even though you’re firing missiles, the ship makes a chirpy “pew pew” sound.

What is being called the world’s first HTML5 web app browser launches today in the App Store. The free and universal MobiUs app provides a way for developers to get apps onto iDevices without first getting Apple’s approval. As such, this could fast become be a game-changer in mobile app development.

First they came to iOS and now they may pop up on a future release of OS X. AirPlay Mirroring and iMessage could someday make the leap to the desktop according to 9 To 5 Mac.

Apple is said to be testing both iOS apps for integration into future versions of OS X Lion. The first, AirPlay Mirroring, would allow users to wirelessly mirror what is happening on their desktop to an Apple TV connected to a projector, television, or external monitor. In addition, Apple is working on bringing video streaming into QuickTime X.

Back in iOS 4, it was possible to zoom in the Camera app by double-tapping an iOS device’s screen. However, in iOS 5 Apple removed the feature, replacing it with pinch-to-zoom which, in all honesty, isn’t that practical. Now, a new jailbreak tweak called “ZoomIsBack!” brings iOS 4′s tap-to-zoom feature to iOS 5.

But that’s not all. The jailbreak package doesn’t replace pinch-to-zoom, meaning you can use both methods of zooming when in the Camera application.

Great news, jailbreak fans: Intelliborn has recently made “IntelliScreenX” available to download, meaning iOS 5 users now have another reason to jailbreak their iOS device.

Once installed, the package adds countless widgets to Notification Center. Among the features added is an SBSettings style widget, a Twitter timeline (you can even tweet from IntelliScreenX) and an RSS feed (which is compatible with Google Reader and uses the Safari Reader interface). You can also add a Mail and Facebook page to the tweak, too.
